NILE make a nice change here, the first 2 songs you would think you were listening to something like Cryptopsy or Origin, and change is good. But make no mistake this is definately a NILE album and they return to their trademark sound soon enough. If you own any other NILE ablums you know what to expect here, brutal technical death metal like previous albums though you might find the mix/production more thin than other efforts. Good stuff from NILE.
